Singapore radiation level safe

The likelihood of any radioactive plume reaching Singapore remains very low.

The Singapore Government said that NEA's round-the-clock monitoring of radiation levels since the start of the crisis shows an average reading of about 0.08 micro-Sieverts per hour. This is safe and within normal range.

According to the joint report released by the Government, modelling studies conducted by NEA, and those carried out by the World Meteorological Organization-designated Regional Specialised Meteorological Centres for Environmental Emergency Response, continue to show that the likelihood of any radioactive plume reaching Singapore is very low. Even in the event that prevailing winds were to transport a plume to Singapore, the impact is expected to be insignificant.
